This is my take on some of the best and worst performances from the Philadelphia 76ers' 95-92 win over the visiting Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
Best Performance: This is a tough award to give out, considering how well the Sixers starters played. After weighing all of the options, i'd have to give this award out to Spencer Hawes for his monster game. Hawes was on triple-double watch all night. Although he never quite got there, Hawes still managed a double-double, finishing with 17 points, 14 rebounds, and 7 assists. The big fella also shot 50 percent from three point range, going 3 for 6 from downtown.
Worst Performance: This goes to the Charlotte Bobcats' Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Gerald Henderson. Kidd-Gilchrist was returning from an injury so ill be nice and cut him some slack, but he still had a miserable game. He played on 17 minutes going 0-2 from the field scoring a mere 1 point. Henderson's performance was even worse. Henderson couldn't find his touch all game, going 2 for 14 from the field scoring only eight points. Both played very poorly for starters in this game.
Best Statistic: This one goes to the Sixers rebounding efforts in the game. The Sixers out-rebounded the Bobcats 50-42 in the game, largely in part to newly signed Dewayne Dedmon.
Worst Statistic: There's no way around it, this award certainly goes to the Sixers and their turnover issues. The Sixers turned the ball over a whopping 24 times - that's just unheard of. Somehow they managed to come out of this one victorious.
Best Surprise: The best surprise in this game was the performance of newly signed 7-footer Dewayne Dedmon. In only 14 minutes off the bench, Dedmon came in and gobbled up 7 rebounds, chipping in 2 blocks. Dedmon was very active on defense, doing a great job staying with Al Jefferson, and even ran the court well during the fast break. If Dedmon continues to provide the interior help that the Sixers need, look to see his 10-day contract be extended.
